This post brought to you by Bitdefender. All opinions are 100% mine.
BitDefender Total Security is ranked #1 in Antivirus software and has earned both CNET Editor's Choice and PCMag Editor's Choice. For 2013, they've taken privacy and security to new levels...
BitDefender’s line of 2013 security solutions offer more advanced safeguards and rich features, including parental controls, online backup, and even social networking protection. It's top of the line, but also very user friendly, and proactively protects you from viruses, spyware, hackers, spam and phishing attacks.

Network safety is more important now than it has ever been. In the last year alone, I have experienced more issues with spyware and hackers and security threats, than in the entire 15+ years I have been online!
I can tell you firsthand that not being protected, or not being FULLY protected, is taking a huge risk. Not just with your online business (as some of you have seen with mine) but also with your personal data.
BitDefender's 2013 version has an increased focus on Safebox, Device Anti-Theft, and Parental Control. And also on secure and convenient management of your services with the new MyBitdefender.
The improved user-friendly dashboard allows you to view and even control installed applications and mobile devices:
Some of the newer features of BitDefender Total Security 2013 include:
BitDefender Safepay
BitDefender Safepay™ is a notable new feature. It's a proprietary secure browser that keeps your online transactions and home banking apps safe from tampering attempts. Considering how many online purchases I make, and that I've had my debit card compromised already in the past (to the tune of over $8,000 before I caught it!), this feature is of particular interest to me.
BitDefender Autopilot
This is a feature you'll love! Most anti-virus and computer protection software is so insanely annoying that you'd almost rather be at risk than deal with the constant pop-ups and interruptions. BitDefender runs on autopilot, and operates on its own, without all of those hassles - so you can actually enjoy your time on the computer and still feel safe.
Bitdefender Anti-Theft
Did you know that BitDefender can also track lost or stolen devices? Very cool feature! Particuarly for those of us that like to work mobile. 😉
Social Media Network Protection
BitDefender also filters the links on your social media channels, like Facebook and Twitter, and monitors your privacy settings on social networks as well. Given the popularity of social sites (and how much we use them!) this is a particularly nice feature. Especially given how the privacy settings on some of those sites are constantly changing on us...
Parental Control Options
Not only will BitDefender block inappropriate content, it also has the ability to restrict web access altogether during certain hours of the day. And it will allow you to remotely monitor online activity - so you can see what your children are viewing and which websites they are visiting, and their activity on those pages... yes, even on Facebook!

About Lynn Terry
Viewing there Facebook page is a quick study in what a Facebook page shouldn't do. Which is too bad as it is probably a good product. In any case I entered the contest and who knows I might just win
I think the Safepay and Autopilot would be my favorite features. Sounds like a great program.
I've had my email (two different accounts) hacked, and besides being embarrassing, it's scary. The last time, I was told someone in Russia had logged into my account and I had to go through the hoops to get back in myself.
I've also had several crashes because of viruses.
I've promised myself that as soon as I can afford it, I'll get a Dell laptop. And it would be even nicer to win it.
Thanks for bringing us this contest, Lynn.
I'm proud BitDefender is #1 since it is developed in my country ;).
I'm loving it since it's much lighter then its competitors but offers great protection!
I think Bitdefender is the best antivirus ever! I have Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2012. I renew my license annually
TBH I have very mixed feelings regarding Bitdefender 2012 and 2013. For example I don't understand why sometimes the outopilot turns off without immediately visible reason, why a program installation is blocked (resp. the installed programm immediately deleted - the default setting instead of quarantined - becase of a false positive without a window popping up, the event hidden in BDs logs), why I can't set a firewall rule like "allow port 1234 from IP 1.2.3.0/24, why Antiviurs(!) tells me I need a critical Windows patches when Windows Update shows the same oatches as optional. In my humble opinion BD tries to do too many things and as a result does some of them only half-assed.
I never really used Bitdefender. But I'd like to give it a try because so far I'm disappointed in all the AV softwares I've used. Is this contest still on?
wow dell with bit defender antivirus will be amazing !! i will definitely join this contest ..!!
